The Trump administration is offering millions of federal workers the option to accept buyouts through a government-wide “deferred resignation” program if they resign by Feb. 6.

Those who accept the offer will receive pay and benefits through Sept. 30, according to a draft email obtained Tuesday by NBC News.

The sweeping buyouts are being offered to “make sure that all federal workers are on board with the new administration’s plan to have federal employees in office and adhering to higher standards,” a senior administration official told NBC on condition of anonymity.

“We’re five years past COVID and just 6 percent of federal employees work full-time in office. That is unacceptable,” the official said, citing a report from Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, who co-chairs the congressional DOGE caucus.

The White House expects up to 10% of federal employees to take the buyout, the official said.

The emails will be sent starting Tuesday afternoon, NBC reported.

Buyouts are being offered to all full-time federal employees except military personnel, U.S. Postal Service workers, roles related to immigration enforcement and national security, and “any other positions specifically excluded by your employing agency,” the emails will say, according to NBC.

The offers come as President Donald Trump’s administration pushes federal employees to return to the office five days per week, scrapping work-from-home allowances implemented during the coronavirus pandemic.

Trump signed an order on his first day in office directing all executive-branch agencies to end remote-work rules.

The administration, which has promised massive cuts to purported government waste, is also signaling that most federal agencies will likely be downsized through restructurings and headcount reductions.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told NBC in a statement that if federal workers “don’t want to work in the office and contribute to making America great again, then they are free to choose a different line of work, and the Trump Administration will provide a very generous payout of 8 months.”

To accept the buyout, federal employees simply have to reply to the email with the word “Resign,” the emails reportedly instruct.

The federal labor union American Federation of Government Employees quickly criticized the Trump administration’s buyout plans.

“Purging the federal government of dedicated career federal employees will have vast, unintended consequences that will cause chaos for the Americans who depend on a functioning federal government,” AFGE said in a statement.

“Between the flurry of anti-worker executive orders and policies, it is clear that the Trump administration’s goal is to turn the federal government into a toxic environment where workers cannot stay even if they want to,” the group said.

BTW before any of you "great, we need to shrink the government!" retards start in, this literally has never worked out for the people buying them out. What happens is:
>All the most competent workers take the easy money and leave since they know this is the forewarning some stupid shit is about to go down
>They go get jobs in other sectors since they have the talents and skills to be in demand
>Remainder can't pick up the slack of guys who left
>Now the people who took the offer have better jobs so you're not getting them back, the people who stayed can't meet demands, and you're fucked

Buyouts are limited to $25k and no one is gonna take them. This is bait and switch, as always.

I'm sure all those trannies and DEI hires are going to leverage their skills somewhere else
>>
>>1378350
See, the best part is anyone who isn't doing anything is going to stay. They know it'll be hard to get jobs elsewhere, and if they're doing this that means layoffs are at least going to be mitigated on some level. So they're going to stay because it means keeping their paycheck.

If those "trannies and DEI hires" are as useless as you claim, they're going to be the ones to stay you idiot.

Yeah, the street corner asking for handouts so they can afford to buy some fentanyl before they head back home for the night to their tent behind Starbucks

The Vladnic don't need no Starbux. He adds 100 ml soymilk,100 ml wodka, 2 tbs used coffee grounds, 2 tbs margarine(butter too expensive) and 5 tbs sugar and mix well. Vlad calls it latte Wakemeupinski aka breakfast

Employees working from home is way more efficient than dragging them all to high COL cities to work at a computer in a taxpayer funded building. Why are Rpublicans such fucking retards?

If the federal government hasn't collapsed yet, that proves they never needed to have offices to begin with.

>>1378375
I think it's performative. They're playing on the old image of bureaucrats as indolent and wasteful in order to justify either cutting a great deal of them out or worsening their working conditions such that a great deal of them quit. The actual issue of working at home or in-office isn't really the main point as much as it is something convenient to the image they want to convey.
>>
>>1378305
The general consensus seems to be that they realized they couldn’t ratfuck government employees like they wanted to and this was their replacement idea. Also nobody trusts them to actually go through with the buyout so nobody is doing it.
>>
>>1378609
It helps they legally can only pay them 25k, so they know the claim is full of shit.
>>
>>1378350
What DEI hires? Feds aren’t allowed to consider a person’s race, ethnicity, gender, etc when hiring. You usually don’t even see who they are, most interviews are done over the phone. Ironically the only DEI initiative in the feds is veterans preference, and those guys are almost always terrible.

and it's already been rescinded like most of his other crap he spouted in the first week.

100% incorrect and has been for decades. If you are non-white, female, disabled, they add points to your test scores. They have been doing this since the '80s.

Man, you need to get off /pol/ and learn about the government. Get a job, maybe.
